Hello,

I have an issue of understanding well what bethesda mean by "Hip fire", because maybe in my language that bad translated (french) and/or because perks who enchance hipe fire seems to be in the wrong place, and/or i miss something.

For my understanding, i can fire with VATS, so it's called "using VATS" in desciption, then there is aiming (firing with the left mouse buton for zooming and have an iron sight) and then what is Hip fire for me and what this mean in my mother tonge language, firing without aiming, without VATS, just firing, nothing more.

Hip fire is actualy in those perks (for be sure that what i talk about this the translation):

- heavy gunner rank 2 & 3

- steady aim Rank 1 & 2

And Many many many mods for weapon.

But, player really fire without VATS and without aiming so mush to create those perk ? i can understand for Heavy gunner, but for Steady aim not really. But the thing who is really anoying is all the mods that increase accuracy in hip fire.

So the question... those mod are really only to enchance hip fire accuracy and just that ? or did they help to aim to ? (no in vats of course (or maybe it is ?) but with the right clic).

I really hope that a bad word choice or this is for both etc because in fact there is many thing to help accuracy in hip fire or for weapon with scope and there is some mod for recoil, who help in all situation but isn't really accuracy, nothing for accuracy only and who help when aiming with the iron sight.

Help me to understand, thanks.

"Hip fire" means firing the gun without zooming in. "Sighted" means using the iron sights or scopes. Some types of gun barrels or mods improve hip fire accuracy and some improve sighted accuracy.

Hip fire is just pulling the trigger without aiming down the sights...perks and bonuses for it would help out guns like miniguns, shotguns, some scatter lasers I'd assume, and possibly some fully auto weapons..I hip fire a lot especially with shotguns..

I don't have any hipfire perks and my weapons are speced out for aiming and in fact they all say "[censored] for hipfiring" or something on the upgrades yet I can hipfire pretty accurately anyways. Seems like the mechanic is almost broken I can't imagine wasting points on the perks would make that much of a difference.

ok, thanks a lot for taking the time to read and explain.

That was like i thing so. Great thanks
